围棋死活宝典-单机版围棋入门围棋练习经典版 app good for

Was looking for a good teaching app for Go and found this gem. Really happy about the simple exercises, and how you can start learning from situations right away. It is difficult to know what to do without an English translation though.
It is a great app for people wanting to study Go. I like when frogman calls me failure.
Although there are glitches here and there, I still can use it to learn the game easily.
Lots of good problems from beginner to professional. Just cheaply built... But its free so I shouldnt complain
The app gives you progressively harder situations to solve. Pretty easy to use. Available in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Most of the text is in Japanese, so I miss out on most of the instruction. But as a refresher and a set of exercises, it is good.

Some bad moments

The problems are good for beginners, but the Engrish probably does more to keep this game shrouded in mystery even than the general lack of a decent network like chess.com etc.
The English translations can use some work and the entire ui feels old and quickly done. Not the best but its the best I can find.
Theres tons of problems but even if you set the language to English the text above the problems as displayed in the preview remains the same. Also the English instructions dont sound very natural.
It seems to be a good practice program for beginners but most of the problems are locked. And u have to buy the application for those questions(%95 of them are locked). And when i come to those questions, the program says purchase or restore purchase. When i click on restore purchase nothing happens and questions are still locked. And i had my credit card billed so beware.
A simple concept that lets you improve by solving Go! Puzzles. I just wish there was more explanation to what is going on.
I learn more and more about go with each lesson. Thank You.
